SUMMARY
"Universe-watching, like golf and aging, promotes humility. Ferris is a retired professor, but of journalism, not astronomy, and his tone is that of the amateurs he celebrates and interviews. That adolescent enthusiasm, well tended since sputnik, reinforces his formidable literary gifts--for metaphor, for narrative and everything between. This is a beautiful book.Ferris, Timothy is the author of 'Seeing in the Dark How Backyard Stargazers Are Probing Deep Space and Guarding Earth from Interplanetary Peril' with ISBN 9780684865799 and ISBN 0684865793.
